   URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 295
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   355 PM CDT Mon Jun 22 2020

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Southeast Colorado
     Southwest Kansas
     Eastern New Mexico
     Oklahoma Panhandle
     Texas Panhandle and South Plains

   * Effective this Monday afternoon and evening from 355 PM until
     1100 PM CDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts
       to 80 mph possible
     Scattered large hail likely with isolated very large hail events
       to 3 inches in diameter possible

   SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms will increase, initially across
   southeast Colorado and northeast New Mexico, and spread
   southeastward across the region. This includes the potential for
   supercells capable of large hail, perhaps very large (2+ inch
   diameter) in some cases. Over time, storms should merge into
   clusters with the damaging wind threat increasing into the
   Oklahoma/Texas Panhandles and Texas South Plains by mid/late
   evening.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 95
   statute miles east and west of a line from 55 miles north northwest
   of Springfield CO to 20 miles southwest of Lubbock TX. For a
   complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
   update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU5).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
   favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
   Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening
   weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible
   warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce
   tornadoes.
